Grabbing Variables from a specified url

I was wondering if it was possible too grab variables from a specified url stored in a mysql table named users and the field name being stat?

stat containing the url of course?

and then i want too grab data from that page :P

only way i no to grab data from a url is using the $_GET superglobal

Do you mean variables from a query string? Yes, it is possible, you can make an array in the same format asthe $_GET super global:

PHP Code:

---

    function get_querystring_vars($url)
    {
        $ret_array = Array();
        
        $url = parse_url($url);

        if ($url['query']) {
            $var_array = explode('&', $url['query']); // you may need to replace & with & here

            foreach($var_array as $var_pair) {
                if (($pos = strpos($var_pair, '=')) !== false) {
                    $ret_array[substr($var_pair, 0, $pos)] = substr($var_pair, $pos + 1);
                }
            }
        }

        return $ret_array;
    }
